We’ve all been embarrassed by our family at some point, but the Sycamore family takes it to a new level in “You Can’t Take it With You,” opening today at Starlight Dinner Theatre. The comedic play, written by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, premiered on Broadway in 1936. It tells the story of sweet-natured Alice Sycamore, who falls for a banker's son, Tony Kirby. But when she invites her snooty prospective in-laws to dinner, Alice finds her peculiar family might be too eccentric for the staid Kirbys. Friday and Saturday shows offer a pre-show dinner, May 1’s matinee offers a dessert buffet. 7:30 p.m. $20-$36 for play and dinner, $15-$10 for play only, $13-$20 for May 1 matinee.
